How do I add friends on Facebook?
There are a few ways to add friends on Facebook. The first way is by searching for them by name. Once you have found the person that you want to add, click on the Add Friend button next to their name. If you know the email address of the person that you want to add, simply type it into the search bar and click on the Add Friend button next to their name. You can also import your contacts from Yahoo, Hotmail or AOL in order to find friends who are already registered with those services. Finally, if you see someone’s profile and would like to add them as a friend, click on the Add Friend button located at the bottom right-hand corner of their profile picture.
What are the privacy settings for Facebook?
Facebook has a variety of privacy settings that you can use to share different levels of information with your friends. You can also change these settings at any time by going to the Privacy Settings page.
The first thing you need to do is decide who can see your basic information. Basic information includes things like your name, profile picture, and gender. To adjust this setting:
1) Click on the down arrow in the upper-right corner of any Facebook page and select “Settings.”
2) In the sidebar on the left, select “Privacy.”
3) Under “Who Can See My Stuff?” select “Public” or choose specific people from the list. If you choose “Public,” anyone will be able to see your profile and posts unless you make them private later on.
If you’d like to keep some parts of your profile hidden from everyone (including people who aren’t friends with you), there are other options available as well: 1) Underneath “Who Can See My Stuff?”, click on Update Options next to each category that lists Limited Profile as an option. This will allow only friends – or specific friends – to see that particular piece of information about you; OR 2) On desktop versions of Facebook, when editing your full profile view, uncheck categories such as work history and current city/education that you don’t want accessible to others even if they’re not directly connected with you on FB (this could be handy if somebody got access to one or two pieces detailed info about yourself).
3.) Hide certain posts from particular viewers by selecting Friends Except in Advanced Settings while creating new posts: doing so means only those designated individuals whom YOU SPECIFICALLY invite subsequently won’t have visibility for whatever duration chosen – 7 days, 30 days – etcetera.

What is the difference between a personal and a business page on Facebook?
When you create a Facebook page, you have two options: personal or business. There are significant differences between the two, and it’s important to understand what each can do for your company before creating one. Here is an overview of the key distinctions:
Personal pages are for individuals only. This means that only people who have been verified by Facebook as being real persons can become fans of a personal page. Business pages, on the other hand, are meant for companies and nonprofits. They can be created by anyone and any number of people may administer them. Additionally, while personal profiles must be set to “public” in order to be seen by anyone on the web, business pages have more privacy settings available so that you can control exactly who sees your content (more on this below).
Another big difference is that when someone becomes a fan of your business page they will see its updates in their newsfeed regardless of whether they like your page or not. With personal profiles, if someone doesn’t want to see updates from you anymore they simply need to unlike your profile which will then hide all future posts from them; however with business pages there is no such “unlike” button – once someone has liked your page, they will continue seeing all updates (good and bad) even if they don’t visit your page very often.
As mentioned earlier, businesses also have more privacy settings available than personal profiles do. For example, administrators of a business page can choose whether or not fans see individual posts (i.e., instead of displaying all posts publicly as it does with Personal Profiles), which helps control how much exposure new content receives until admins are sure it is worth further promotion via Ads Manager or other paid methods offered by FB themselves.. In addition to post-level privacy settings,, overall visibility controls allow Admins far more management over who – limitedly geographically speaking – sees their Page’s main Timeline ().
